Astrological Calendar 2026

Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion where the planet appears to move backward in the sky. In astrology, this period (3-4 times a year for about 3 weeks each) is associated with communication delays, technical glitches, misunderstandings, and the need to revisit old matters. It is recommended to double-check documents, avoid signing important contracts, and be extra careful in communication.

Eclipses (solar and lunar) are powerful astrological events that accelerate change. Solar eclipses open new opportunities and launch 6-month cycles. Lunar eclipses close old chapters and bring hidden emotions to the surface. Eclipses most strongly affect people who have natal planets near the eclipse degree. Their effects unfold over several months.

An ingress is when a planet transitions from one zodiac sign to another. Each planet expresses itself differently depending on the sign it occupies. For example, Mars in Aries acts directly and decisively, while in Pisces it operates intuitively and gently. Ingresses of slow-moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn) set global trends for months and years.

Use the astro calendar for planning important activities. Avoid signing documents during Mercury retrograde, start projects at new moons, complete them at full moons. Track planetary ingresses to understand current energies. Pay attention to eclipses — they indicate areas of life where key changes will occur.
